REMUS – Erin Spaugh was more than ready for what she hoped would be a fabulous season for Chippewa Hills’ softball team.

But the cancellation of the season because of the coronavirus issue put those hopes away.

This would have been Spaugh’s senior season. She started the sport in the eighth grade.

“I played T-ball and when I was younger, then I played in the eighth grade,” Spaugh said.

She turned into quite a player for the Warriors who won three straight district titles. She earned all-district honors last season with a .321 batting average, .397 on base percentage and .446 slugging percentage.

“I always liked the sport, the coaching and the people I played with,” Spaugh said, adding the key to being a good hitter is “you have to be able to read the pitcher.”

She started for the Warriors last year and was a utility player and saw action in various positions.

“I was really looking forward to my senior season and going for a fourth district championship since I’ve been a part of all of them,” Spaugh said, adding she played a lot of offseason softball. “I played on a summer team last year.”

Spaugh is planning to attend Ferris State University and be in social work.
